Bahnhof Altstetten

This is my train station! Since I live in the Bahnhof Altsetten’s area, I really enjoy the public transport connections and other facilities there. There is basically everything you need from the grocery shop, restaurants and Apotheke! Aside the numerous trains stopping there, there is tram 4 (on the north side) who goes downtown and a few buses 31, 78, 80, 89, 95, N2, N13 (on the south side). They are as well 3 additional bus lines on the north side 304, 307, 308. So in short from Bahnhof Altstetten you can go in all directions quite easily!

We used this smaller train station twice while in Zurich, once for our train to Luzern to see Mt Pilatus, and once for the express to the airport for our departure. Both times we were escorted by our local hosts as a courtesy, and I am glad we had them. Things move fast, with quick stop times so you better know you are in the right spot and don’t linger. Everything is really clean and precise. After all — this is Switzerland!

Kleiner Bahnhof, welcher sehr sauber ist und übersichtlich aufgebaut.
